In the 80's, "heavy
metal" music reached new levels, most of all thanks to Metallica which
created "thrash metal" with bands like Slayer, Anthrax
and Megadeth.

Approximately a decade after their
beginnings in Los Angeles, California and after 4 first class albums, they
gained an unexpected success selling more than 15 million copies of their
1991 self-titled album. At this time, the band is the 7th biggest
selling act in American history and the biggest "heavy metal" selling
act.

Despite the less creative period of
the band in the 90's, Metallica is still one of the biggest metal influences
in the world.
